Sand Section
120 Highland Avenue (4br/3ba, 2724 sqft.) is a late 90s TH in the South End with some ocean peeks.
There are no interior photos, on account of the fact that the home is very much lived in (for years) and they haven't yet had time to clear it out or stage. Upon visiting, it takes some imagining to "see" the house through all of that.
Still, there is a sizable home here – closer to 3000 sqft. than not. The main living spaces are on the middle, entry level, along with one bedroom. There are some views at the corner, looking down the 2nd St. walkstreet.
Upstairs are two more bedrooms, including a sizable primary. There's a quirky loft/office area above the central stairs that's pretty inviting.
On the ground level is a bedroom, laundry and garage, and the listing touts that that 4th bedroom could be used as a separate unit/ADU.
From the official description:
"Wonderful location in South Manhattan Beach on the corner of 2nd Street and Highland Ave. This not your typical 3 level floorplan. The front door is on the 2nd Street side, second level, where the entryway takes you into the living room with hardwood floors, ocean view deck, kitchen, dining area and on rear of the house is a one bedroom with 3/4 bath. The 3rd floor houses the master bedroom and bath, ocean view deck and one more bedroom at rear of the house. On the ground floor you have one more bedroom and bath, with separate entry if needed, could work as an ADU. The large 2 car garage can actually hold 2 smaller cars end to end and one full size vehicle, currently the tenant has large workbench so he uses it as a 2 car garage. It has a 3 stop elevator and on second level there is a separate storage room off the deck."
120 Highland Avenue begins at $3.600M.
